There is a list at www.germanna.org   Click on Settler's List on the right side of the page.  My personal opinion is that it has some errors and some omissions.  There are obviously others who think it is accurate.  I recommend that you do your own research and decide for yourself.

R. McIlwaine, editor, publ 1928,  reprinted 1976, p. 371.  On April 28, 1714, Lt. Governor Alexander  Spotswood reported to the Council that forty-two men women and children who  were invited hither by the Baron de Graffenried are now arrived,.... (italics  are mine) Lt.. Governor Spotswood was quite precise in stating the  number.  Since he had paid for approximately one-half their passage, I  think he knew exactly how many people arrived.  I wonder if he  had to pay the passage of those who may have died at sea.  Perhaps  someone on the list who knows something about the shipping business of  that time could help  out.

The list of Germanna  Settlers names 44 people(I counted them). Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood  gave the number as 42. Of the three different numbers given, I can only  find documentation for the number 42. What sources were used to determine  the other two numbers given (44 and 47)? I will point out that I did  contribute some of the names on the page of Germanna Settlers--but only  the ones on which I had some documentation that they actually arrived in  the VA colony. A number of names are listed out of tradition and not as a  result of research and documentation.
